Hello, Seth

It's me again, still trying to get good diagnostic output for the
driver.  I have 2 files attached here, as you ask for.

In the previous post, I said that sometimes the mouse flies off to the
top left, and you asked if perhaps I'm touching the left part of the
touchpad. I've been checking. Definitely, I'm not touching the left
side.  That still happens intermittently. And here's the weirdest part.
If I plug in a USB mouse and keyboard, sometimes the cursor flies about
wild up to the left, even if I don't touch the touchpad at all. Just
using the mouse does that.

The other weird problem is periodic "sluggishness". Sometimes touching
the pad just doesn't move the pointer much.   Sometimes it will stay
sluggish for a long while and I modprobe the psmouse to shake it loose.
But sometimes it goes away after 5 or 10 seconds. I don't see any
pattern in it.  I've been trying to get diagnostic output for those
moments.  I change to the VT1 and create the diagnostic files, but I
fear the output will not help you because the sluggishness may be cured
by the act of hitting Alt-Ctl-F1.  I mean, by the time I get there and
run input-events, I can't say for sure if the mouse is still sluggish or
not.

But I just have to rely on your  best guess!

On Debian, my kernel is 3.0.0-1-amd64 and the psmouse patch is version
10.
